Understanding the Microclimates of Lugo’s Stunning Coastline
A Mariña, Lugo’s northern coastline, is a region of outstanding natural beauty. Its rugged cliffs, sandy beaches, and lush green landscapes are a magnet for visitors. However, the weather can be as varied as the scenery.
A Coastal Symphony of Microclimates
Unlike many other coastal regions, A Mariña is characterized by its diverse microclimates. What this means is that the weather can vary significantly even within a short distance. While one town might be basking in sunshine, another just a few kilometers away could be experiencing a drizzle.
This is primarily due to the region’s unique geographical features. The mountains that run parallel to the coast often create a barrier, trapping moisture-laden air and causing rainfall in some areas while leaving others untouched.
